So I painted this big canvas I got Clay for Christmas one year. He painted it, and hated it so he said it was okay for me to paint over it. I primed it with Kilz and then went at it! I've never really painted with oils before. It was pretty fun! I did it in one day (I'm not very patient), its kinda crazy- but I love it. It's going right where my head is basically- by our table we have this great blank wall! I'm going to put that big canvas along with some other treasures. Super excited. Just waiting for it to dry and then I can hang it, take pictures and then show it off to you guys! Yipee!
Last weekend I decorated above our piano and I LOVE IT! I love the pictures Lizzie took of us and I just love how it turned out.
After I have everything "done" (if that happens ever) I will take pictures of everything.
Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone is enjoying their last bit of summer. I wish it would never end :( I might be excited for fall, if that meant winter wouldn't come! Oh- I have some really really fun holiday crafty stuff up my sleeve. I'm super excited about them! Till next time...
Oh yeah- if you are looking for something to pray about (does that ever happen? I'm pretty sure everyone has a LOT to pray about) or send good energy waves towards...I really am lacking in motivation to study. This is my LAST test (hopefully- still haven't gotten my score from the last one) and I just really need to get my buns in gear!

Love the owl that you have above your piano. I also really like your funky frames. I need to find a super big picture or canvas for a super big piece of art for my front room. I have a big blank wall and not sure what to do with it.
Love, love, love the Piano!!! and the arrangement on it! I love the pic that Clay took of you, you look so beautiful! that is so fun about the canvas! Study! love you!!!!! :-)
Danielle you are gorgeous! Such a great picture of you! The decorations around the piano are so pretty- I love the yellow frames.
I used normal brown rice. We couldn't find sweet either. The normal kind worked awesome, but I bet the sweet would be even better 'cause it would be sticky. I'm gonna look at Cash and Carry for it.
I love that pic of you. I forgot your hair was blond. And it's long and wavy and you're all skinny. I'm so jealous. I love the pic you're painting too!!! So creative! I LOVE IT!!! I didn't know you had that in you! Can't wait to see it all done. You're making me feel better about my house too. You've got some funk in your decorating and that's just how I like it! I've been feeling a bit self concious about my decor lately. Good luck on studying. Don't give up! You're almost done! Love yoU!
I'm so glad you got Clay to take that picture! You're so beautiful...and I LOVE your hair. Danielle, that piano area is amazing! Wow, everything looks so great, it's all interesting and varied but not too busy. It's perfect. Stunning. I love the color of your walls, and the general color palette. PROPS
That pic of you is gorgeous!!!!! You are so GORGEOUS and stunning in that pic. and mike always rolls his eyes when I ask him to take a pic of me, haha. I LOVE the piano and arrangment, it looks so amazing. It makes me want to do more to my apartment. I don't have much decor going on except my furniture. But nothing else really! I need to get some shelves or something. You and Megan keep taking pictures that need to be blown up bigger, because they show up a tinsy blurry on the blog, but then you click on them, and when they are big they are gorgeous and clear and clean. I think you need to do what lizzie does and change the pixels (not on the camera, but on the blog) to make the pics bigger, because if people don't click on it to make it bigger, they are really losing the effect of the pic. Does it not show up that way on your computer? Love everything, and can't wait to see your christmas decor plans. Love you and I'll pray for more motivation for you.l love you
Oh- and the canvas is awesome!!!
You look so cute, painting and all! I feel the same way! I feel like there are never any pictures of me because I am always the one taking them! I LOOOOOOOOOOVE the piano and decorations!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! ANd yes, those pictures that lizzie took are beautiful!! Jealous a little bit!!! :) Love you!!
